I had seen that when you posted about it recently. I haven't tried it out yet, but I have more confidence in the usefulness of your scripts than of mine, but I couldn't get the older version of your scripts to work for me. One of the things I haven't worked out yet is how to render planet-wide contours in an efficient manner, since the shapefiles mulitply either in size or number to rather large amounts (for 10m contours especially) as I start including europe, never mind in the US. I found there were more than 4GB of contours for the UK, which made it impossible to combine the results for each SRTM->shp conversion into one large shp file.
